When you have such a powerfully beautiful episode like last week’s “No Pressure,” there’s a ton of fallout that needs to be dealt with. It’s natural story progression, but it can often bog things down because of the simple fact that they have to address all the changes that are happening. “Karma” was a fun episode of How I Met Your Mother, filled with good laughs and actually managed to make even more big changes to the dynamic of Himym, but it suffered from being pigeonholed into focusing on very specific storylines. We had to see Barney try and date Quinn. We needed to find out where Robin is going to live. And Ted needed to live by himself for awhile. This was all necessary, but it left very little wiggle room.

With all the talk of the rumors and news about the “Blade Runner” sequel/prequel/whatever and Ridley Scott‘s Cormac McCarthy penned “The Counselor” we kind of forgot about “Prometheus.” But Fox didn’t and just to remind you this film is still coming, a new viral clip of sorts has arrived.

Yesterday, rumors flew around that Guy Pearce would be playing Peter Weyland in the film and well, as it turns out, he is. In this Ted Talk the honcho behind the outfit more commonly known as The Company goes ahead and explains what exactly Prometheus refers to, in case you didn’t go to high school, or are unaware of common points of reference. It’s a bit gradiose (and dry) and thankfully this clip, directed by Luke Scott, won’t be appearing in the actual film. And to be fair, “Prometheus” does need some explicating for the non-hardcore audience so assume this fits the bill.
